Abbey impacted so many in her 9 short years. She was a member of her school’s Social Justice club, always looking for ways to raise awareness or funds for helping others. In her own life, she made batches of bath bombs with a friend to sell, raising money for a local women’s shelter. She spent one Christmas gathering donations for Syrian refugee families new to Canada. She made sandwiches and participated in a Street Patrol, handing them out to the city’s homeless. Abbey advocated for girls and women, for the LGBTQ+ community, for breaking out of traditional ideas of what anyone had to be, based on their identities. She stood up against bullies and befriended everyone. She loved art, sports and exploring the world. She was silly and funny, kind and joyful – qualities that were contagious in her company.
Most of all, she loved… and is so loved in return.
Since 2018, Abbey's Goal has established
Abbey's Adventure Fund, a yearly fund to support children and families at Toronto’s Romero House in creating amazing memories through playful fun experiences.
Abbey's Book List - a curated list of children's picture book sets which encompass Abbey's values and story. 500 books were donated to all places where children read, learn and grow.
The Abbey Tran Sportsmanship Award, awarded to players in the Etobicoke Dolphins Hockey League tournament who embody Abbey's love of the game and good sportsmanship.
Abbey Tran Education Fund, a monetary scholarship given in partnership with the Etobicoke Dolphins, awarded to a hockey player who has shown dedication to school, hockey, sportsmanship and community for post-secondary education.
Abbey's Annual Birthday Kindness Drive, which collects toys, warm clothes and other necessities for those living in need in the city.

Abbey’s Goal 2026
We are proud to announce our current annual goals…
Romero House & Abbey’s Adventure Fund
Abbey’s life was always so full of adventure and we are excited to give other children the chance to make some amazing memories as well. We hope to find ways to bring adventure to children every year in the spirit of Abbey’s approach to life. We are excited to partner annually with Romero House, a local organization that welcomes, accompanies and supports refugee families new to Toronto. Romero House is open to families regardless of religion, ethnicity, political beliefs, sexual orientation or gender identity. Their goal is to build community, celebrating holidays, hosting potlucks, providing support and truly living as neighbours, while families settle into their new lives with dignity. Romero House remains close to our hearts, as one of the first organizations Abbey learned about and donated to. We look forward to seeing more of the adventures the children in the Romero House community will be able to enjoy, thanks to our community at Abbey’s Goal. We are also happy to participate alongside Romero House in the annual Wanda Street Festival, bringing community together and sharing joy as a neighbourhood.

Abbey’s Birthday Kindness Drive
November 28, 2026 marks Abbey’s 18th birthday. In honour of the day, Abbey’s Goal will be accepting toy donations for Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter, to give to children in need, in hopes that they and their families will have an extra happy winter season. This annual event means so much to us as a way to spread love and kindness to others.

Dear Graduate…
This June 2026, Abbey would be graduating from high school. There have been many milestones over the years that we unfortunately haven’t gotten to celebrate with her. This year should mark a new chapter beginning, filled with hope, promise and excitement. In honour of what would have been a time to celebrate her achievements, we are donating $2500 to some local, well deserving graduates in the community. We hope this small token helps these young people to celebrate all they have accomplished as they begin their own very exciting new chapters.

Annual Donation to Downie Wenjack Fund
Abbey’s Goal is proud to donate annually to the Downie Wenjack Fund in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We know the pain and devastation that is child loss, and on the day which acknowledges the victims of Canada’s residential school system, we are proud to support the Downie Wenjack Fund. This organization works to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Their goal is to improve the lives of Indigenous people by building awareness, education, and connections between all peoples in Canada.
